The majority of people who drive cars regard airbags as a standard safety feature. In fact, the vast majority of jurisdictions have statutes or requirements stating that airbags must be a standard safety feature on all new cars sold. On one hand, airbags do save a number of lives every year, but there is a darker side which is often not explored: airbag injuries. If an airbag expands when it is not supposed to, it can cause severe injuries to those in the car, not to mention the potential for car accidents after the fact.

How Do Airbag Injuries Occur?

Airbags often leave their compartments at speeds of up to several hundred miles per hour. It is easy to see how this could result in injuries – when the fabric of an airbag strikes someone at such speeds, severe contact burns can occur. Furthermore, the chemicals used in airbags can cause chemical burns, and people of smaller stature who are struck by expanding airbags can suffer serious structural injuries.
